vet student loving your dogs

Pet care experience

Hey all! I am originally from Massachusetts, did my undergrad at UVM and have had some great animal opportunities post grad! I’m comfortable around alligators (see photos) so I’m probably comfortable with your pooch :) I am a first year vet student at University of Illinois UC I grew up with one dog in my household and around horses for most of my life. During college I missed having a pet in my dorm and apartment and walked at a local dog rescue when I could. I love all animals of all sizes and am looking to give that love to your pet while making a little extra money. I would love when I have a full day off of work to take your dog on long walks and fun adventures out and about. I look forward to meeting some great pooches!

Alexandra is such an amazing sitter!! It can be tough for us to find a sitter that works well with our disabled dog, but Alexandra took the time to understand the care she needs and we felt very confident that she would take the best care of her and all of our animals!! 10/10 would recommend booking with her

Our dogs can be a handful, especially when watching them at the same time and Alex was awesome with them! She sent picture and video updates and gave them the love and affection every pet owner worries about their pets receiving when they’re out of town. 10/10 would use her again!

We were so lucky to find Alexandra. She boarded my dog in her home and stopped in to care for my two cats, and took excellent care of everyone. My dog is a senior dog who requires both oral and topical meds, and Alexandra handled that like a pro. She took my dog for several walks and made her feel right at home. I have never had such an excellent experience with a sitter. I highly recommend Alexandra!

Alex is incredibly sweet and reliable. My husband and I are so very lucky to have found such a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!! Her love for animals is instantly apparent, and she leaves very detailed notes after every single visit. 10/10 would recommend!

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

Before meeting your doggo I would LOVE to know if they have any medical concerns (ie heart murmur, gets tired easily) and know that they are up to date on their vacceines and if they have ever had a history with fleas, and their behavior with other people and other dogs (aggression, indifferent, or very loving). I want to be able to give your dog the best experience possible while we're together.
